-Irrationality Search: After a Golden Section Approach, Another Esthetic but Vain Attempt
Year: 2005 Authors: Dirk Huylebrouck
Core claim
An esthetically appealing integral framework suggests a possible route toward proving irrationality of , but the attempt ultimately does not work for and even introduces extra zeta terms in the resulting expressions.
